It's strange how the Yardbirds could be so awesome, and all their components could spin off to create a colossal universe of suck.

Led Zeppelin was not a colossal universe of suck. Neither was Cream.

We agree to disagree.

I like my bands spastic and awkward. My orgasms real, not faked. That said ah, ah, ahhh, ah, ah, ahh, ah, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

- I meant that. Robert Plant faked it.

Clapton's music became so boring after he kicked teh drugs. How many times can you make over old classics?

FlashHarry: will beck's hawt bass player be there?

Tal Wilkenfeld. I judge her success by measuring the number of men who wanted to fark her after Beck's set in the bathroom at Crossroads. Answer: all of them.

Damn. Is she Jaco Pastorius' illegitimate daughter, or what?

He's like a real-life Mermaid Man.

Dear Eric,

Erm, ARMS Benefit tour anyone?! Page Beck and Clapton hit the stage together in the mid 80s....

Meh, the From The Cradle CD is quite good, at least singing-wise.

Don't know what happened to him. Success maybe?

The fact is... although he has always been technically proficient (brilliant, even), he's never had an ounce of soul.

Clapton's recent solo efforts? They can skip over ALL his solo efforts as far as I'm concerned.
I don't know how Clapton manages to take the soul out of the blues, but that's what he does.

Jimmy Page formed a band in late 1968 called the new Yardbirds, but you more than likely know them by the name Led Zeppelin.

Wait, what?

/God, that hurt to read

Jeff Beck is SOOO much better than Clapton, it makes my ears bleed!

Holy crap, where can I get some of those, Goonie? After Layla, anything by Clapton makes me feel stabby.

/Jeff Beck owns
// Especially Beck, Bogart & Appice

another pic , just because

What's her name again? Tal something?

Dunno why, but I lol'ed at that

I could never get into it, either.


and whoever is posting pics of that girl bassist GOOODAMM WHO THE HECK IS THAT? SHE IS SO HOT, AND A MUSICIAN I THINK IM IN LOVE

Clapton would do good to avoid stepping on the stage with Beck. I think it's kind of funny that Clapton tours with Derek Trucks and Doyle Bramhall II - two incredible players - to cover up his own playing.

Did anyone get to see the Beck/SRV tour? I couldn't make it, and I have hated myself ever since. I would assume that it was the show of a lifetime.

For fark's sake, Clapton has always been best in a band. But even when he's not. Even when he's pissed out of his face or more coked up than Santa, he's better than you. Or me. Anyone here better than EC? farkin prove it.

And Jeff Beck is Loki to his Odin and JH's Thor.

wtf?

hopefully to skip over Clapton's recent solo efforts

I certainly do.

Subby must be too young to remember the British Invasion tour. The finale was Beck, Clapton & Page doing an instrumental version of Stairway to Heaven together. It was a great show. Beck's set blew everyone else away.

Jeff Beck is great. Clapton plays with more soul and feel than anyone and I've seen many other guitar "gods" also.

You're all just pissed because he still gets the accolades and your favorite guitarist doesn't.

Tell B.B. King you think Clapton sucks and his 80 year old ass will club you with Lucille.

Good stuff.

Did that ever make it to DVD?

I suppose I could hunt down a torrent...

happydude45: Subby must be too young to remember the British Invasion tour. The finale was Beck, Clapton & Page doing an instrumental version of Stairway to Heaven together. It was a great show. Beck's set blew everyone else away.

I think you mean the ARMS concert and it wasn't "Stairway to Heaven" - Page did that solo. It was "Layla". (At least, on the broadcast gig - not sure about some of the U.S. dates.)

I just saw an ad for this on the train; tickets start at 10,000 yen ($100+) for the cheap seats.

Like that Carpenters article from last week, if you can make it big in Japan I guess you always have an audience to come back to. Still, I imagine half the crowd will be middle-aged expats in the finance industry commuting from Roppongi.

While it's hard to imagine Beck not mopping the floor with Clapton, Eric did sound better the last time I heard him, a couple years ago. Sounds like he's finally incorporated some of Buddy Guy's more frenetic phrasing sensibilities into his previously bland and overly polished style.

Still, come on. Jeff. Beck. Not even in the same league, IMO.

I stand corrected.

Wow. Page was messed up, to stay the least.

There's a two AVI torrent of the ARMS concert kicking around. Yay Simon Phillips!

Boris S. Wort: The fact is... although he has always been technically proficient (brilliant, even), he's never had an ounce of soul.

Every time there is a good guitar player mentioned on Fark, some idiot decides to say he doesn't have any soul. This isn't the usual shredder thread where you can say he doesn't have any soul and have an arguable position.

You do not know what you are talking about. Eric Clapton is one of the most tasteful guitar players of all time. If you listen to a song like "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and you think that he has no soul, then you don't understand the meaning of the word.

Next thing someone's going to try to say how he had crappy tone when he played with Cream.
